88 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Incorrectly Seated Tailgate Strap
When hauling cargo using the mid position
and the tailgate, you must support the load at
two forward locations:
At the top of the rear wheelhouse (1)
Between the wheelhouse and the
tailgate (2)
Chamfered Boards In Pickup Box
NOTE:
Failure to support the load at these two forward
l
oc
ations could result in damage.
Three 2x4 boards are needed to provide
support at locations (1) and (2). Each board
will need to be cut to fit inside the pickup box.
The support at location (1) should be seated
in the dedicated formation on top of the
wheelhouses.
The support at location (2) should use the
remaining two 2x4s. Stack the boards and
place them into the formation in the side wall
of the pickup box. The corners of the bottom
board will need to be chamfered to fit.
NOTE:
All cargo transported in the pickup box
must be secured.
The maximum payload for the mid posi-
tion is 500 lbs (226 kg).
Closing
To close the tailgate, lift upward until both sides
latch into place.
1 — Support Location 1
2 — Support Location 2
CAUTION!
After closing, pull back on the tailgate firmly
to ensure it is securely latched. Damage to
the vehicle or cargo could occur.
